“Oh, Ben! Yes! You make me the happiest woman in the world. There’s nothing more that I want, but to spend the rest of my life with you, building a family together. I will be honored to be your wife.”
Tears of joy fall from my eyes as Ben slides the ring on my finger, his hands trembling. As we kiss, couples at the tables around us start cheering and clapping.
“I totally forgot anybody else was here,” I whisper into Ben’s ear and giggle, hugging him tightly.
“You’re the only person in the world that matters. Do you want dessert or something else?”
“Ben, what I really want is to go home with you and have dessert in bed.” I tease, lowering my hand under the tablecloth and stroking the inside of Ben’s thigh. “But I have some news of my own.”
“Oh?” Then places his hand on mine and moves its so that my fingers are stroking his rock-hard cock.
“Well,” I pick up one his hands and place it on my stomach. “About that family we were talking about? We’ve already started one.”
Everything freezes in that moment. Ben and I share a look that conveys emotions that there aren’t even words for. His mouth forms in an O and then he blinks rapidly, looking from my face down to my stomach and back to my face again.
“I’m going to be a dad? I’m going to be a dad!” Ben kisses me hard, taking my breath away, and then jumps up and pumps his arm and dances around like he’s just won the lottery. He reaches for my hands and pulls me up so that I’m standing with him, and then he hugs me so tightly I feel like my ribs are going to break. “I’m going to be a dad!”
By now, the whole restaurant is clapping and cheering for us. Ben kisses me again, and I give everything to him in the kiss that I give back to him. We’re not for big public displays of affection, but right now, I don’t care. We are the happiest couple of the world and who cares if everyone sees it.
The owner of the restaurant comes up to us and claps bend on the back.
“Congratulations, you two! Dinner is my treat tonight. Consider it my engagement gift to one of my favorite couples.”
“Thank you so much, Roberto,” I say, reaching out and touching his arm. The light from the restaurant hits my ring and sparkles fly through the air.
“I appreciate it, my friend. You know this is our favorite restaurant. And as much as I’d love to stay for desserts, I need to take my future wife home right now.”
Roberto winks at both of us and nods his head. I pick up my purse and smile at everyone as we leave the restaurant.
At every stop light, the cars behind us have to honk at us when the light turns green, because Ben and I can take our hands off of each other and we’re making out like horny teenagers.
“I am proud that you will be my wife, Leah. You are more than I ever hoped to find in a woman.”
I run my hand along Ben’s jaw, the purest form of happiness filling me up. I still have to pinch myself all the time, because I don’t know how I got so lucky.
“I never imagined that happiness can feel like this.” I say, reaching out and touching Ben’s chest, “or like this,” I say, placing my hand on my stomach. “Every day is brighter and more fulfilling than the day before, with you. I feel safe with you and loved beyond comprehension, and that is so much more than I ever dreamed to have. You are my heart and soul. I will love you forever.”
Ben blinks rapidly and swipes his hand across his eyes. He has a big, gruff exterior, but he’s a total softie inside and not afraid to show me his emotions, and that makes me love him even more. We both start laughing as yet another car honks at us because we’ve missed the light turning green.
“I think you need to put both hands on the wheel and drive us home as fast as legally possible,” I tease.
Ben laughs and does just that. His strong fingers wrap around the steering wheel and I can see them flexing as he fights the urge to touch me again. I’ve never been touched so much in my life as I have in the past year with Ben. There is no doubting the love that he has for me and shows me throughout every day that we’re together.
“It kills me to not touch you, Leah. You know that, right?”
“I do, my love, I do. But the sooner we’re home,” I say, reaching over and quickly tickling the top of his leg with my fingers, “the sooner we can get into bed.”
“I’m looking forward to a lifetime with you.”
And with that, he floors the accelerator and drives his home in record speed.
